Excellent food - belly pork was delicious - although a larger portion would not have gone amis

Superb food. You can immediately recognise the Pony & Trap DNA.It really was outstanding.Four of us dined on a Sunday afternoon, fish cakes with warm tartare sauce and pickled red onion garnish was a delight, chicken liver parfait lovely. Roast beef was a beautifully thick cut of rare sirloin with well-rendered fat - lovely stuff! Pork belly looked almost as good, I only tried the crackling, which was exactly as it should be; sticky, crunchy, porky as you like. Veg all on point; greens crisp & vibrant, cauliflower cheese, rich sumptuous and still with enough bite. Roast potatoes were perhaps not the best I've ever had but not bad - I'm nit picking. Gravy superb. For pudding we had chocolate torte with creme fraiche sorbet (my god - you have to try this) and a lovely crumble with custard.Food was an easy 10/10 and for £23 for 3 courses, amazing value.Pub is family friendly, so as the afternoon progressed it got pretty hectic. If you are after something more peaceful, I'd suggest booking on an evening / weekday.Service was a bit slow after initial welcome & order taking but that's understandable given how busy they got.I would absolutely recommend the Kenny, it's on the way to becoming a famous little place, Michelin star territory once they get up to speed. I look forward to many more meals there.
